Overview
- During the match at CF Montréal on Saturday, Berterame collided with defender Efraín Morales, appeared to lose consciousness, received prolonged on-field treatment and was stretchered off to Montreal General Hospital with an ambulance called onto the field.
- Match officials awarded a penalty for the clash that Luis Suárez converted, and Suarez held up Berterame’s shirt in a visible show of support after the goal.
- Inter Miami confirmed Berterame regained consciousness, spent the night under observation, was discharged Sunday and is returning home with injuries to his left shoulder and nose.
- The club said he will start rehabilitation under Inter Miami’s medical staff and that his progress will determine when he can resume training and play, with no timeline currently provided.
- Berterame, who joined from Monterrey earlier this year and has seven MLS goals for Miami, leaves the team short on attacking depth and places greater emphasis on medical clearances and player-safety protocols going forward.
